<br />3. Fete des Lacs 2001 Budget Process <br /> <br />Mr. Ray DeVine, Chairperson ofthe Fete des Lacs Committee, appeared before Council <br />to ask if Council had any questions on the budget information he had provided in the <br />Council packets. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked for a one page summary sheet with a table comparing actual <br />amount, budget amount, the difference between the budget and actual amounts, and a <br />column for the 2001 budget amount. <br /> <br />Mr. DeVine explained the Festival has up front expenditures that will need to be paid for <br />by the City in an amount that is slightly greater than the monies that will be made during <br />the Festival and refunded to the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson thanked Mr. DeVine for the detailed report but agreed the one <br />page summary sheet would be helpful. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson noted there was not much record keeping last year and asked <br />that there be better records kept this year. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg noted he was not in favor of charging for parking at the Festival. <br /> <br />Mr. DeVine explained the Festival Committee is considering charging for parking based <br />on a recommendation from the Minnesota Recreation Association. <br /> <br />Mr. DeVine told Council he would provide the requested summary page to Council at the <br />next Council meeting. <br /> <br />4. Resolution #01-006 - Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Improvements Grant <br />Application. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted there was not a dollar amount in the resolution and indicated Staff <br />intended to submit the playground equipment in an amount not to exceed $50,000 and a <br />concession/shelter building. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson questioned whether the City's portion ofthe matching grant is <br />included in the Parks and Recreation budget. Mr. March noted it has not been clearly <br />stated where the matching funds would come from, stating if the grant is approved it <br />would be before Council to discuss. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked when the City would know if it received the grant. Mr. March <br />stated it would be mid to late summer. <br /> <br />Page 10 of 15 <br />
